Description
M/A-COM’s MAALSS0033 LNA is a GaAs MMIC low
noise amplifier in a lead-free SOT-26 surface mount
plastic package. The MAALSS0033 employs a
monolithic 2-stage design featuring a convenient
50-ohm input/output impedance that minimizes the
number of external components required. The
device typically runs off a single 3 volt to 5 volt
supply and has an off chip resistor that can be used
to improve the linearity performance. The design
provides excellent performance from 2.2 to 2.4 GHz.
The MAALSS0033 is fabricated using M/A-COM’s
E/D process to realize low noise and high dynamic
range. The process features full passivation for
increased performance and reliability.

to desired voltage, typically 3 to 5 V.
2. Set RF input.
3. Power down in reverse sequence.
Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
†
Reference Application Note M538 for lead-free solder reflow
recommendations.
Meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
devices.
